A customer left a “whopping” $3,000 tip for a single beer Sunday afternoon at a Cleveland restaurant that is closing amid a surge of coronavirus cases.
Brendan Ring, the owner of Nighttown restaurant, told Fox News that the customer ordered a $7 Stella, took one sip of it, and asked for the check.
The customer signed it, walked by Ring, and left the check in front of him, saying: “Share this with your staff.” “I wasn’t wearing my reading glasses.
I glanced down at [the check] and it looked like to me had a beer and he left a $300 tip. And I go, ‘Well that’s very nice of him,’” Ring said. “Then I put my glasses on and I looked down again and I go, ‘Holy cow it was a $3,000 tip on a $7 beer.’” Ring ran after the customer to see if he had made.
